This work aims to describe the technique and review all transvaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (vNOTES) for adnexal procedures performed and to acknowledge vNOTES as an alternative to conventional laparoscopy. The procedure consisted of an incision in the Pouch of Douglas, insertion of a single port device, laparoscopic surgery through the device, extraction of specimens through the vagina and closure of the vaginal apex with a direct suture. Eighteen procedures have been successfully completed, 1 patient required conversion to conventional abdominal surgery due to intolerance to pneumoperitoneum.

Our study assessed the safety and clinical outcomes of hysteropexy with a single-incision mesh associated with a modified culdoplasty, for the surgical management or prevention of enterocele, in women with pelvic organ prolapse (POP). We carried out a 1-year prospective single-cohort study, including 51 women with symptomatic, multi-compartmental POP. Anatomical outcome was assessed with a POP-Q system and the subjective outcomes were assessed using ICSQ-SF and PGI-I.

Background: Worldwide, the most commonly used method of fertility regulation is tubal sterilisation. In developed countries sterilisation is generally performed by laparoscopy rather than by minilaparotomy, based on the belief that this approach is both safe and effective. In developing countries, where the resources are limited for the purchase and maintenance of the more sophisticated laparoscopic equipment, minilaparotomy may still be the most common approach.
